Great to see focus on women's sports with the indoor rock climbing facility at Women's Sports College in Champawat. More such initiatives needed across India to encourage female athletes! 💪

Hope they ensure proper maintenance of these facilities. Many sports projects in India get built but then neglected. Need long-term planning and management strategy.

As someone from Dehradun, the ice skating rink is much needed! Our youth have to travel to Shimla or other places for winter sports training. This will be a game-changer for local talent. ❄️

Good to see state and central government working together on sports development. Uttarakhand's geography makes it perfect for adventure sports tourism too - could boost local economy!

Hope they include local communities in these projects and create employment opportunities for Uttarakhand youth. Sports development should benefit local people beyond just infrastructure.
